smalltalk

A lot of people play boardgames specifically to hang with friends. I just gently ask who's turn it is if things get out of hand.

More like $12.99 for core functionality that should have been released with the game (cities skylines is the worst for this). I'm all for reasonable pricing to cover the costs of development, but chaining together a dozen expansions and making a $40 game cost an additional $160 is bonkers. Its deceptive pricing, and it shouldn't be excused just because you like small studios making better games. It would be better to release games when they are fully ready and have a roadmap of full cost available.

Though it does look like they've now offered a subscription service to essentially rent the expansions for $8 a month, at least that provides choices.

If you fill out that contact form they will use the info to contact you 153,467 times a year. They will not stop even if asked, never give them your info, you will regret it.

I mean, if you're eating chicken nuggets every single day, gut health is just one of many issues people could have, including heart disease, diabetes, peripheral neuroapathy, obesity, disability, etc. 20 year olds arnt immune to that. People really struggle with basic diet. I'm very lucky I was raised by a gardener. Home cooked fresh foods for the first 18 years and fast food feels like eating plastic. If I was raised eating junk food I probably wouldn't know better.

I don't know if it shaped anything but definitely inspired increased listening. Tropico, any version. Those games always have excellent playlists. The music is so good, I could be board with the game and still play because the music drags you in.

Yeah I own a few pair of those. I'm saying wrangler has the only lightweight ones I can find in 100% cotton. Carhartt are the heaviest weight I own.

Isn't that painting with a broad brush? I thought there were a wide variety of people protesting for a wide variety of reasons.

I do this with wrangler too, I actually appreciate they make it simple to remove, instead of stitching it into a seam. Wrangler makes the only 100% cotton lightweight work/cargo pant that I can find. The rest are synthetic.

What an odd response to a well thought out comment. The above commenters comments are backed by research.

I've been reading about zoning for the last 15 years as I've basically become obsessed. Us zoning is basically insolvent in every R1 zoned city and suburb in America. If someone lives in a metro area in R1 zoning they are being subsidized by the tax system and high density tax payers. Low density property owners take in far more infrastructure benefits than they pay in taxes. This has been proven repeatedly by large scale audits on urban and suburban areas by organizations like ubran3 https://www.urbanthree.com/

And I live in extremely low density R1. This isn't personal, its just reality. Artificially low density is a huge problem, a giant country wide ponzi scheme. If we don't resolve it, we are going to be the poorest country in the world when this finally collapses. Its the hidden albatross no one is talking about.

In my experience the difference in voting is really between the educated class and the uneducated class. Educated people are tend to be left wing. Uneducated people tend to be right wing. I'm pretty sure the data bears that out.

He was a moron before his brain injury. Some people are born dumb and I do feel they deserve equal respect in society. Others choose among all options to actively seek stupidity, I know because I grew up with them in the 80's and 90's when being smart was "gay" and "dorky". These people thought being big, dumb, and strong was something to be proud of and I have no sympathy for their negative impact on society.
